Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or
damage to humidifier, use only cleaners
specifically recommended for humidifiers. Never
use flammable, combustible or poisonous
materials to clean your humidifier. To reduce the
risk of scalds and damage to humidifier, never
put hot water in humidifier.
NOTE: Remove
J excess water
before cleaning
CAUTION: Local water purity varies from area
to area and under certain conditions water
impurities and airborne bacteria may promote the
growth of microorganisms in the reservoir of the
humidifier.
To retard bacteria growth that may cause odors
and be harmful to your health, use only Kenmore
replacement filters. We also recommend using
EPA approved bacteriostat, and humidifier
cleaner, available at your local Sears store.
Step 1
To make cleaning easier, the humidifier base
should be empty and completely dried out. To
accomplish this, use the
following method:
a. Allow the humidifier to run until the refill F light
flashes and the DRY OUT mode has
stopped the humidifier fan.
b. Unplug humidifier.
Step 2
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock,
always unplug humidifier before cleaning or
servicing. If humidifier is not un-plugged, fan
could start after housing is removed.
To Remove Parts
See "Replacementand Care of Filter" page 11.
NOTE: There may be a little water still in the
base. Carefully dump the water out or remove with
a sponge.
Step 3
Bi-Weekly Maintenance
Removing Scale
1. Fill the humidifier base with one 8 oz. cup
of white vinegar. Let solution stay 20
minutes.
2. Clean all interior surfaces with a soft
brush. Dampen a soft cloth with white
vinegar and wipe out the base to remove
scale.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to
remove scale and cleaning solution.
Disinfecting Base
1. Pour 1/2 gallon of water and 1/2
teaspoon chlorine bleach into the base.
Let solution stay for 20 minutes, carefully
swishing every few minutes. Wet all
surfaces normally exposed to water.
2. Empty base after 20 minutes. Rinse with
water until bleach smell is gone. Allow unit
to dry out completely.
NOTE: The water bottle should be cleaned
in the same manner as the base. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water after all steps are
complete.
End of Season Maintenance

at end of humidification season.
2. Remove filter.
3. Let humidifier dry completely before storing.
